A New York-bound Virgin Atlantic flight was canceled just moments before takeoff last week when an alarmed passenger said he spotted several screws missing from the plane’s wing.

So lucky they spotted it. Really makes you think, wouldn't it be good to implement a system of regular professional inspections to deal with stuff like that? /s
Regular Inspections fix small issues before greater problems arise from them --> some economist with no technical knowledge or common sense goes: hurp de durp our inspections never fix any relevant defects. Better cut back on them to be more economic. --> surprisedPikachu.jpeg
Well no. Those are the accountants. Economists have studied survivorship bias. It's the MBAs and accountants looking to cut costs that do that stupid shit.
Regular inspections are already mandate by the FAA, no economist, accountant or MBA has any say on it.
